Early! Lucky!

This might not go over well with some of you, but strawberry season started down here about a month ago! I don't mean to rub it in or anything, but it's pretty fuckin' great. I don't remember ever getting sweet strawberries this early, and the season has only just begun.I've been making strawberry pancakes just about every weekend since we got back from India. I adapted the batter from The New Farm, but have made so many tweaks to the recipe, I'm pretty content to call it my own. Dazee is a pretty delicate eater and pancakes aren't my favorite leftovers, so this recipe makes the perfect amount for us--four medium sized pancakes. I like pancakes a little crispy and dark, so you can cook yours lighter if you want!

Hi Kittee, we just received Papa Tofu a few days ago, thank you both for the quick delivery! I love the layout, and will be cooking Ethiopian soon - we don't have any Ethiopian restaurants where we live, so it's all new to us.

I did have one imported strawberry yesterday from a salad bar, how funny (and deprived...) is that!-Anni.

Isn't it great living in the South?!? The farmers market here in Texas has a large bounty early as well. Yippee! I think my East Coast and Mid-west friends don't like me this time of year. Seeing that our winters hold 60 degree weather and theirs hold 20. Brr! No thanks. Let me know when Papa Tofu is ready. Happy Mardi Gras.
